Project overview
Located just 100 metres from the beach, one of the NSW North Coast’s most spectacular apartment buildings, the Sunrise Apartments at Tuncurry near Forster is a nine storey building containing luxury, three bedroom, apartments with glorious views over Wallis Lake and the ocean. Parex Group's Davco products were used extensively throughout the construction of this building by Graf Building. The design criteria called for quality products to be used throughout. Parex Group's Davco adhesives, waterproofing membranes and grouts were therefore an obvious choice.
Waterproofing Membrane
Dampfast, a 2-part cementitious waterproofing membrane, was chosen for the 1,200 square metres of balconies. The balconies called for a high quality, quick drying waterproofing product that would be highly flexible and eliminate the need for a reinforcement layer. Dampfast was also chosen for the swimming pool and water features throughout the complex.
All internal wet areas in the luxury apartments, such as bathrooms and showers, were waterproofed with K10 Plus - a water based polyurethane waterproofing membrane.
Tile Adhesive
For the tiling of the balconies and other areas around the Sunrise Apartments, Ultraflex was specified and supplied by KI Tiles of Forster, proving to be an effective and easy to use tile adhesive.
The applicators were able to achieve great coverage with a single bag of Ultraflex cement based adhesive. A 20kg bag of Ultraflex will cover approximately 12metre squared using a 6mm x 6mm notched trowel. Ultraflex is highly flexible which makes it ideal for balconies and swimming pools. It can also be used externally on concrete, cement render and screeds as well as facades.
Grout
Sanitized® Colorgrout was also supplied by KI Tiles for the Sunrise Apartments. Used for the grouting of the entire project, Sanitized® Colorgrout contains a biocide making it resistant to a broad spectrum of moulds and bacteria. The swimming pool in the complex was also grouted with Sanitized® Colorgrout.
Parex Group's Davco products are in the background for obvious reasons. But they are critical to successful waterproofing, tiling and grouting. Our continuous research and development programs ensure that the Davco range of products are continually tested for performance in all conditions. We back this up with technical support for specifiers, applicators and tile outlets.
A very pleasing aspect of the Sunrise Apartments construction was the role played by Tile Power Forster for the supply of the selected Davco products. This demonstrates Davco’s technical and product expertise is available at the regional and local level through a network of tile outlets.
